have no objection 20 the Issue bsine
raised either In or ont of Parlia ment,
still We cannot help regretting that uR
gent business shsuld be delayed for q
day By debates upon what We published
iu good faith and with evidence con-
dHmatory Of everything We advanced
While We shrink from no form Of In.
quiry, We do not think the House would
be well advised in dealing With the
question IS one Of privilege. While not
wishing 10 discuss the merits Of the con
IFoyersy at the present moment. we
would say that no journal in the Uaited
kingdom, least Of all the organs of the
Parnellites, would be safe for week if
it were held inadmissible to contradict
any statement in the House, even II the
Ablest proof be furnished At the time in
support Of the contradiction. In elect |
ing 70 challenge this decision the Par
nellites have chosen, curiously, narrow
zround. They must be aware that the |
assailed as breaehes Of priv
leRes must be dealt With separately"
